This review is from: More Boys' Toys of the 70's & 80's: Toy Pages From the Great Montgomery Ward Christmas Catalogs 1970-1985 (Paperback)
This had to be one of the greatest gifts my 37 year old brother opened for Christmas this year! What a wonderful collection of the awesome toys of his era. Very nice condition, arrived on time. I would definitely buy from this seller again. Thank you!

This review is from: More Boys' Toys of the 70's & 80's: Toy Pages From the Great Montgomery Ward Christmas Catalogs 1970-1985 (Paperback)
Toys are bright and colorful so getting something in what looks like black and white newsprint was disappointing. It is also not very complete.
